PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION, AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS CLOSELY AS AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION COULD BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS.
• Do not use this child seat in passenger seats equipped with airbags.
• This child seat must only be installed in the rearward facing position. Do not use on side facing
or rear facing vehicle seats.
• Never use this child seat without fastening the child’s harness correctly, and never attempt to use
it without fastening it into the car as specified in these instructions.
• It is most important that the seat belt is correctly routed with the lap portion of the belt through
the side guides and the diagonal belt going through the guide on the back of the child seat.
Ensure the belt straps are not twisted.
• The child seat must be tightened down on the upholstery as tight as possible to ensure
maximum protection. The recommended method is shown in these instructions.
• Do not add to or modify the seat in any way. This could render the seat unsafe.
• It is recommended that this car seat should be replaced when it has been subjected to violent
stresses in an accident or has become badly worn.
safety warnings
1
• Periodically inspect the harness for wear, paying particular attention to the attachment points,
stitching and adjusting devices.
• Never leave your child unattended in the seat.
• The carrying handle must be in the correct position when used in the car.
• Ensure that no part of the seat is trapped in a door or folding seat. If your car has a
folding rear seat, ensure that it is correctly latched in the upright position.
• Car interiors can become very hot when in direct sunlight, it is therefore recommended that the
child seat is covered when not in use. This prevents components, particularly those attached to
the child seat, becoming hot and burning the child.
• In the event of an emergency, it is important that the child can be released quickly.
This means that the buckle is not fully tamper-proof and so your child must be taught never to
play with the buckle. The buckle should always be easily accessible.
• Luggage and other heavy or sharp objects should be secured in the car. Loose objects are
liable to cause injury in the event of an accident.

(1) and (2) together then pushing into the
socket. A positive click should be heard,
indicating that the buckle is secure.

adjuster strap as shown.
It is recommended that there is just enough
room to insert two fingers between the shoulder
straps and the child’s chest.

Your child seat comes with the shoulder straps
through the lowest shoulder slots in the seat back.
As your child grows you will need to move the
straps to the next slots. The correct slots are those at,
or just below your child’s shoulders.
If the slots are too far from the shoulders there will
be too much slack.

extra support for your child's head.Position the
shoulder straps of the car seat through the slots
of the head hugger.
Ensure the head hugger is fitted snugly around
your child's head.

when they are seated in the car seat and is for
use when the Car Seat is attached to a
pushchair or being used as a rocker.

Your car seat is fitted with a seat level indicator.
This is designed to help you ensure that the seat
is positioned at the correct angle.
The arrow should point directly at the top of the
star as shown below. If it does not then your car
seat is not correctly fitted and is not providing
the best protection for your child.
CAUTION: Always check the level indicator
before and after fitting the seat belts.

Step 1
Pull the seat belt across the top of the seat.

However safe a child seat is, however well built
it is, your child’s safety depends on you.
Read this section thoroughly before fitting your
child seat in your car.
REMEMBER: Misusing your child seat will reduce
the protection and safety you offer your child.
.
• Ensure the harness is adjusted to suit your
child. A fitting for winter clothes will be too
loose for a child wearing summer clothes.
• Install the child seat carefully using the 3-
point lap and diagonal belt, as described in
this section.
• Check that your child seat is secure before
each journey.

Step 2
Route the lap belt (1) through BOTH lap belt
guides (2). These are marked with light blue
arrows on the seat.
The lap belt should never be passed through
the slots at the front of the seat. These are
decorative only and will render the seat
unsafe if used.
Pass the diagonal section of the seat belt (3)
around the back of the child seat, then fasten
the seat belt tongue into the buckle.

or press down on the handle to push the child
seat down into the vehicle seat (1), while pulling

checking the security of the seat
When fitted, the security of the child seat can
be tested by pressing firmly into the backrest
as shown.
The seat should feel very firm and move
only slightly.
If the seat does not feel secure, go back to
section 11 and follow the fitting instructions closely.
Only once the seat is secure is it ready for use.

with warm water and allow to dry.
• The cover and accessories are removable
for cleaning (follow the wash care

• If food or drink finds it’s way inside the buckle,
remove it from the seat and rinse with mild
hand soap and warm water. When dry, check
that it functions properly, then refit carefully.
• Do not use solvents, chemical cleaners or
lubricants on any part of the seat and never
attempt to bleach or dye the webbing.
